Re: Grasshopper Inn Meet, March TBD (Please Vote) Topless driving FTW !!!!

Re: Grasshopper Inn Meet, March TBD (Please Vote) Mega meet at North Weald on 17th, and mothers day on 18th.

Put them on once you've declared them in a months time. :S

Sounds good on paper, but the parking is rather restrictive by the cafe :S Plan B ?!

Don't come back complaining when it's exactly the same after you've just swapped lowering springs for lowering springs then :rasp:

Possibly knackered the shocks having shorter springs on it, which is why it's not the best idea to just do lowering springs. Going back to stock is probably softest/nicest... If you want lowz, Koni adjustable dampers + Eibach Sport/Prolines should do you. If budget allows, decent coilovers.

I'm guessing the engine costs £144 ? But f**king LOL at 2800 for insurance. Buying my car and a years insurance is less than that!!

You can't afford to run a 1,6 so you're going to turn yours into a 1.6 and presumably not declare it? Are you doing the spannering yourself ?

First question to ask yourself is why....?

Sell it and just drive the Vee for goodness sake :rasp:

Coilovers FTW. Springs FTL (unless you put Koni adjustable dampers on too....) Get with a decent insurer then... Greenlight or Sky. :S

Love that one !

It covers the car in shampoo without you having to wipe it with a sponge/mitt/etc.

HA Try getting more things in the shot. I don't personally like trails only shots unless it's very clever (I'm a pedantic fusspot...). What's the large violin in aid of !? :rasp:

I'd guess at about 150-200 30sec shots, f/low (lens dependant! lets guess at 2.8), ISO 200 (because you're a Nikon IIRC?), focus @ infinity.

Excellent shots .. saw something similar with white Tigers a few years back ! That's properly terrifying !!

Get a reputable company to pop a centre silencer in there for you to shut it the hell up....?

Buy this. My old bus. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?622034-172-Monaco-Blue-Very-clean-car-FSH-%A32500-ono

I try to get stuff right in the camera ;) How about a bit more explanation with your shot, Scott ? Showing before and after is great but it doesn't mean anything to me. I've no idea if you've pressed a button in PS and it's done that or you've spent an entire evening buggering about with...

:o Not bad ! Stupid clouds......... Keep practising ;)

SnowFoam (magifoam seems to be talked about a lot right now) FTW ! :approve: That thing will be ok for spreading suds about but not sure it'll do much more than that. :S *awaits to be proven wrong by people who actually clean their cars* :evil:

Welcome ! Where you from ? I'd just leave the car alone TBH. Your insurance will probably rape you for any modifications anyway. Enjoy it, keep it between the ditches and try not to become a statistic !

I'd be amazed if your head unit had 5.1 output :rasp: Most of the noises come from the centre and then the fronts in a 5.1 system anyway and the rears just do background noise of things that are behind you if you were on set ;) It'll just be the same stuff repeated at the rear, with the treble...

With the greatest respect - Why would you bother ? You've essentially got a set of components up front... You don't watch your TV facing the other way !? Why would you want sound coming from behind you...

Find a 306 TD for £500. Grp 5 insurance. Job done.

Fair enough! Koni adjustable shocks and springs, or decent coilovers .. do a search for the Koni setup, they're rated well normally but I can't remember what springs ate recommended.

Yes, hundreds of people ;) Have a search about on here... Things to check in order: Tyre pressures. Tyre condition. Tyre quality (i.e.: replace budgets!) Rear shocks - leaking. Geometry.

32 psi is far too high. 31/29 or 30/28 IIRC ? Check the manual. Are they decent grade A tyres, or something awful like 'INFINITY' hero spec cheap crap chinese rubber worth 20p ? Check the rear shocks for leaks.
